Coolbits

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 2003:da:df39:5100:f899:cd84:fa99:4904 (talk) at 14:37, 1 October 2019 (Coolbits option "1" doesn't seem to work on Linux with current drivers anymore. "5" and "28" do though.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Coolbits was a Windows registry hack for Nvidia graphics cards Windows drivers, that allows tweaking features via the Nvidia driver control panel (including overclocking). There is also a Coolbits 2.0, with extra features. These features provided by Coolbits are considered expert-only and thus the reason they are normally hidden in the control panel.

Below is the main Coolbits activation entry in the registry: 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NvTweak]
"CoolBits"=dword:00000003

It is also available on Unix-like systems running the X Window System by setting the "Coolbits" option to "5" in the configuration file. Using "28" instead of "5" will enable additional overclocking features. [1] [2] [3]
